Katherine Choong, the first Swiss climber to complete a 9A route, decided to repeat this performance in the Bernese Alps with "Jungfrau Marathon". For her, to repeat with such a performance represents much more than a sporting feat. Climbing is her school of life, a true philosophy. No matter how long it takes to achieve this extraordinary new achievement, she transforms frustration into patience, failure into solution, and once again, the dream into reality.

Full throttle climbing in Switzerland. Autoroute captures the full-throttle climbing odyssey of Americans Dave Graham, Luke Parady and Joe Kinder as they test themselves on the most difficult boulders and cliffs in Switzerland and France. Witness Graham makes the second ascent of Passion (14d), third ascent of Speed (14d), first ascent of La Foon (14d), and the first ascent of Bah Bah Black Sheep (14c/d). Additionally, autoroute profiles Swiss native Stephan Siegrist, climbing his amazing 26 pitch sport route, La Vida el Silbar on the Eiger's 6,000' North Face; Alex Huber on his unrepeated creation Black Power in Austria; and Lisa Rands sending in Tralenta, France.
